4.0 out of 5 stars SOLID ROOTS, June 26, 2001

First off I would have to say that this CD does not sound like it came out in the early eighties. If I were to hear this album today I would predict that this is the way dub reggae music would sound in the future. This CD came out twenty years ago (actually vinyl). This album is solid from beginning to end with smooth background and lead vocals. The production and music is tight. For fans of the ON-U sound this IS A MUST HAVE! For reggae fans not familar this is a good start particulary fans of the Black Ark or King Tubby sound.

I read somewhere that Creation Rebel had a sort of Black Uhuru sound to it. This is the first thing that came to my mind when I put it on the CD player today, my first listen. It reminded me of some of my old Mykal Roze/ Black Uhuru dubs. I'm a big fan of Mykal Roze and 80's dub, so for me this CD is a huge buy! If this is the sound that you are looking for, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up this CD, especially if you can find it at a good used price.

Creation Rebel, a Dub Session Band from the United Kingdom. Relatively unknown. The band has various releases on the On-U label, the psychedelic dub publishers from the U.K. Creation Rebel has been playing on Prince Fari albums. Drummer Style Scott, who later joined the legendary Roots Radics, was a member. Any track I have heard from this band thusfar, was great! So I am very happy with this collection of eight long tracks. I must admit, that On-U is certainly not my favorite label, but who can resist heavy roots music, transformed into dubwize "Old Skool"? I can't. So if all these new digital dub creators like Alpha and Omega, Rootsman and more can't thrill you, I would say check out Creation Rebel. Completely in the spirit of today, extended spaced out mixes. Completely in the spirit of "Old Skool Dub" of yesterday, heavy dub, heavy echo's, nice drop in's and out's of the drum and the bass, et cetera. This is the music, that all dub creators of today will point out as source of knowledge and inpiration. Dub from the Roots!
